Previously known as The Late, this was a pleasant country/folk band, who gradually became rockier. The
'Going Home' 45 was a private pressing. The first Big T 45, 'P.F.
Sloan', was a tribute to the American songwriter and, like flip side, is excellent. Dave Gilmour (of
Pink Floyd) played on some of their albums and produced some of their material.
Ferrier later went on to Co-Co and Smith later played in Thumbs.
